The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough: Why Growth Can Get Messy
Overview
In this raw and real episode of the Embodied Baddie Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and letting you in on one of those "WTF am I even doing" moments we all try to hide. Spoiler: I’m not hiding. Instead, I’m sharing how I faced my feels head-on and turned a heavy, messy potential spiral into a breakthrough moment. Because let’s be honest, emotions don’t take a backseat just because you’re running a business or living a “successful” life.
Here’s What You’ll Take Away:
Feel the Feels, Babe: Yeah, ignoring emotions might feel easier, but it’ll bite you later. I’m talking about why emotional awareness is your real flex, not a weakness.
Vulnerability Is the Ultimate Glow-Up: Nobody likes to feel exposed, but that’s where the magic happens. I’m sharing how being vulnerable has been my shortcut to clarity, strength, and surprising freedom.
Get Yourself a Hype Squad: We all need someone to remind us we’re not losing it. I’ll walk you through how my coach helped me unpack my chaos and why reaching out for support is a total game-changer.
Progress Isn’t Always Obvious: Let’s talk about the quiet wins. Growth doesn’t always look like fireworks; sometimes, it’s just a whisper telling you to keep going.
The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough: That soul-crushing moment? It’s often the setup for your next level. Let me tell you why the messy middle is the place to find your power.
Actionable Steps for You:
Sit With It: Stop dodging your emotions. Get quiet, grab your journal, or just ugly cry in your car if you need to. Whatever helps you feel it.
Find Your Person: Whether it’s a friend, coach, or therapist, reach out. You deserve someone in your corner reminding you of your badassery.
Practice Patience: Not every step will feel like a leap. Celebrate the tiny victories, even if it’s just getting out of bed today.
Show Up as You Are: Vulnerability is your permission slip to be unapologetically real. Share your mess; it’s where connection lives.
